They've lied to us. ALL of us! For political gain!!-----Wind and Solar Can't Support the Grid - Climate Etc.

Many people falsely believe that wind, solar and batteries have been demonstrated to provide grid support and deliver energy independently in large real word applications. - Planning Engineer (Russ Schussler)
In October of 2025, the isolated small city of Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia with a 36 MW load (including the large nearby mines) could not be reliably served by
  • 200 MW of wind, 
  • a 53 MW solar array, significant residential solar, 
  • and a large 50 MW battery all supplemented by diesel generators...

The Australian ran an article entitled: Broken Hill: Powerless and left to live like mushrooms where it described the situation:

The power comes on from time to time, but goes out just as quickly. It gives us just enough time to power our phones and read emails from energy providers sent the day before, alerting us to the fact the power was about to go out. They also warn we don’t have much time, and to avoid using unnecessary electrical devices – air conditioners, fridges or fans that need a power point.
